Black for Death

Like many, I watched and enjoyed the Netflix original series, Black Mirror. (My favorite Netflix series are House of Cards, Mindhunter, Peaky Blinders, and The Punisher.) It's an ideas show, where, instead of becoming invested in the characters, it's all about the premise--usually how advanced technology is far more detrimental than beneficial for most people. While hit or miss, all episodes are worth watching. The following are my favorites, however, with brief synopses via Netflix and images via Wikipedia. 

Season 1, Episode 3: "The Entire History of You" (2011)
"In the near future, everyone has access to a memory implant that records everything humans do, see and hear."

Season 2, Episode 2: "White Bear" (2013)
"Victoria wakes up and cannot remember anything about her life. Everyone she encounters refuses to communicate with her."

---

Season 3, Episode 2: "Playtest" (2016)
"An American traveler short on cash signs up to test a revolutionary new gaming system, only to discover the thrills are a little too real."

Season 3, Episode 3: "Shut Up and Dance" (2016)
"After a virus infects his laptop, a teen faces a daunting choice: carry out orders delivered by text message, or risk having intimate secrets exposed."

---

Season 4, Episode 1: "USS Callister" (2017)
"Capt. Robert Daly presides over his crew with wisdom and courage. But a new recruit will soon discover nothing on this spaceship is what it seems."

---

Season 4, Episode 5: "Metalhead" (2017)
"At an abandoned warehouse, scavengers searching for supplies encounter a ruthless foe and flee for their lives through a bleak wasteland."
